Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a major technology trend
focused on making corporate information technology (IT) an enabler
of business flexibility and innovation. While SOA is not the unique
province of any single vendor, IBM has taken a leadership position
in the industry and is actively helping organizations in many
industries be successful with SOA. This book will help you migrate
your existing computing infrastructure in the direction of a
service oriented architecture using IBM technology and services. In
Exploring IBM SOA Technology & Practice, IBM SOA expert Bobby
Woolf explores IBM's vision for success with SOA. Woolf starts by
describing the reasons an organization should consider adopting
SOA. Issues and challenges faced once you decide to adopt SOA are
examined. Guidance is given on how to prepare, select good SOA
projects, and how to structure a committee to manage all SOA
projects in an organization. Woolf then moves in for a closer look
at the nuts and bolts of SOA including the IBM SOA Reference
Architecture, the suite of IBM products/services (e.g., IBM
WebSphere) used to implement that architecture, and SOA application
development practices. Vital topics such as lifecycle management
and governance are covered. At the "Member's Only" Web site, you
will find direct links to a rich array of SOA videos, Webcasts,
white papers, and other SOA resources to help your projects
succeed. This book is a key resource for IT professionals and
business people who work closely with IT and want to learn how to
use SOA to make their corporations more successful and it shows how
they can work with IBM to achieve that success.
